Update on the Censure of Rep. Cecil Bell and Rep. Will Metcalf
April 4, 2025 | Media Inquiries: press@mctxgop.org
On February 4, 2025, the Montgomery County Republican Party censured House District 3 Representative Cecil Bell Jr. and House District 16 Representative Will Metcalf. The party is now awaiting the results of the Legislative Session and for direction from the Republican Party of Texas Executive Committee to see if any further escalation of the censures is appropriate.
On a related note, prior to and following the passing of the censures, one member of the Montgomery County Republican Party County Executive Committee (CEC) produced videos and social media posts with misleading and outright false information regarding the censures.
At the Executive Committee Meeting on April 1, when that member sought support from other members of the CEC for his claim that the censures had actually failed, he received no support from any member of the CEC.
The Montgomery County Republican Party Steering Committee is still considering whether to take action against that member for knowingly disseminating false information to the public.
